Ahh, I haven't used GenBooks for a very long time & so thanks for the replies
that have shown me that it is extremely useful to add support for them in
PocketSword. :) I will leave it on my tracker & add support soon :)
As for other features that may or may not be possible on PS, I don't think we
need to worry about what is or isn't possible with it. There will be features
that are present in the iPad version that aren't in the iPhone/iPod touch
version. Things like Bookmarks are easy, cause I'm about to completely rewrite
how bookmarks work, so I can make my new bookmark format the same as the one
Xiphos uses quite easily. :)
This post is in an attempt to pull this discussion away from the main points
Karl has made about feature parity amongst desktop front-ends. :) Make
comments on the above in this thread & comments about the other stuff he said
in the other. :) Feature parity is a useful discussion, but there are
different expectations between something that runs on an OS with a windowing
system and one that doesn't have that. :)
Thanks, ybic
nic... :)
